On May 19 Winnipeg city councillors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With just about every good or service, including some essential services, people decide how much of it they want based on its cost. When gas prices go up, car drivers decide whether or not they want to absorb that cost. But when the cost of clean water goes up, it’s mostly absorbed by the service [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Named Deh Cho, or “big river,” by the Dene people, the Mackenzie River is one of the world’s few remaining large, free-flowing rivers, and one of remarkable continental and global importance. At 1.8 million square kilometres, the Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) drains 20 per cent of Canada’s land mass, and collects and delivers over 9,000 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a cool, wet morning in late April 2008. Somewhere in the islands near Put-in-Bay, Ohio, Jeff Reutter, director of the Stone Lab, has just hauled in the net from a five-minute trawl. The good news is that there are plenty of fish. “More than I’d expected at this time of year,” says Reutter, pointing [...]]]></description>

One way in which water utilities can improve their operational efficiency, and therefore cut costs, is through a comprehensive, IT-based asset management system.

		<description><![CDATA[First Nations drinking water has had a history of infamy in Canada. In comparison to drinking water off-reserve, the quality of on-reserve water is largely unacceptable. Off-reserve, the responsibility for water and wastewater lies within the jurisdiction of provincial and territorial governments. On-reserve, pursuant to Section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, the federal government has [...]]]></description>

As a result of capital and conservation investments in this area, the company has saved more than 36 billion gallons of water—enough for roughly 335,000 North American households for an entire year.

Beginning with the catalyzing Quebec Water Policy (QWP) in 2002, a flurry of new and modified laws, regulations and policies have [...]]]></description>
